READ Made Aliyah’s post before commenting on my reply
MA did NOT say that tourists should be counted, he made the comment that if all people should be counted then tourists should be able to vote. A totally non-connected comment to the discussion that the Constitution requires all people residing in the US be counted. The Constitution does not say count voters. We are mandated to count minors, who are not eligible to vote, adults who are not registered to vote and felons who may have lost their right to vote (in some states).
The 14th Amendment of the Constitution calls for counting the number of whole persons in each state, not citizens, not voters……………………..
